Around 2 weeks ago, I decided to get the Moondrop Chu 2's because I wanted something cheap to compare other stuff to. Then came the Monarch Mk3s and now the Annihilators. I decided to just go straight to endgame. Unfortunately, I didn't factor in what termination the Annihilators came with so now I must wait for my 4.4mm to 6.35mm to arrive. So sad. :(

Awesome. I just bought the Monarch III myself. It was on recommendation from one of the guys here. It's one of those all rounders. It's not exceptional at one thing. You get everything well balanced. It's very enjoyable and one of those IEMs you'll keep for the next 10 years.

I gave it to my son. I already have the LCD-i3 and prefer a "hotter" presentation. Something that makes me moan and groan like a clown while listening to music. There is something magical about planars that seems to work for me.
